From the best-selling author of Atonement, Nutshell is a classic story of murder and deceit, told by a narrator with a perspective and voice unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master.

To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour is just a speck in the universe of possible things?

If you've loved McEwan's work before, you will love this one as well. A masterful and sublime and poignant wordsmith. Enough said.

Superb, as expected...

I work in the postpartum department of the hospital and this book was right up my alley. Interesting for sure!

I just had to find out what happened to the baby!

It's quick, even unabridged. the book is about a four plus, but I bumped it up to a five for the narration: It's definitely voice acting, not reading aloud - not too much, not too little, & he even sounds a little like Hugh Grant at times.

excellent narration.

Was pulled into this book with the first sentence, couldn't put it down. Very different style of writing for me, some parts felt like I was listening one of the Shakespeare novels. Mother Trudy and her brother-in-law, also her lover planning how to kill her husband.

First sentence will pull you in.

At first I was not impressed with
this book and abandoned it for another. So glad I gave it a second chance. Good story told by a novel narrator, it is certainly worth your time.
